II COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
BIOMODA,
INC.
Warrant
Shares:
____________ Issue
Date: March 16, 2010
THIS
SERIES II COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, __________________________________ (the “Holder”) is entitled,
upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, to receive from BIOMODA, INC., a New Mexico corporation
(the “Company”)
up to ____________________________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
Common Stock via cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
dated March 16, 2010, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
1
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of
Warrant.
This Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to
Section 2(c) on the 45th
Trading Day following the Exercise Date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement by surrender of this Warrant certificate; provided, however, if the
issuance of Warrant Shares hereunder would otherwise violate Section 2(e), such
Warrant Shares shall not be issued to the extent that such issuance would
violate Section 2(e) until the Holder has delivered to the Company a written
representation that the issuance of the balance of the Warrant Shares will not
violate Section 2(e). Other than the rights of the Holder to receive
Warrant Shares subsequent to the Exercise Date on account of the limitations of
Section 2(e), which rights will remain as if this Warrant remained outstanding,
and subject to the delivery of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant on
the Exercise Date if required, this Warrant shall terminate and be deemed
cancelled following the Exercise Date (the “Termination
Date”)
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $0.01 (the “Initial Exercise
Price”), subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant shall be exercised by means of a
“cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate (unless electronic delivery is available) for the number of Warrant
Shares equal to the lesser of:
(i) the
maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder; and
(ii) such
number of shares of Common Stock as would have been issuable to the Holder under
the Purchase Agreement if the Per Share Purchase Price was 80% of the arithmetic
average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock on each of the forty five (45)
consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Exercise Date;
provided, however, that the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall not be more than such number
of shares of Common Stock as would have been issuable to the Holder under the
Purchase Agreement if the Per Share Purchase Price was $.10 per share, subject to
adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. By way
of example, if the Holder has a Subscription Amount at the Closing of
$1,000,000, the Per Share Purchase Price was $.16 per share and 80% of the
average of the 45 VWAPs immediately following the Exercise Date was $.11 per share, then the
Holder would be entitled to receive 2,840,909 Warrant Shares
hereunder.

Mechanics of
Exercise.
|
i. Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise. Subject to the restrictions set forth under
Section 2(e), Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the
Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime
broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission (“DWAC”) system on or
before the 48th
Trading Day following the Exercise Date (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Subject to the restrictions set forth under Section
2(e), the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any
other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise
Date.
ii. Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or
before the third Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if
after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall , within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in
the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to
the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such Warrant Shares or credit such Holder's balance account with The Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”)) shall
terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit such
Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal
to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number
of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the VWAP on the date of
exercise. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3
iii. No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole
share.
iv. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense
in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name
of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
4
e) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this
Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this
Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made,
but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a
more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder,
the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally or in writing to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the
61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed and implemented in a manner other than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) except as necessary to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
5
f)
Termination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and become null and void
in the event that 80% of the average of the 45 VWAPs immediately following the
Exercise Date is equal to or greater than the Per Share Purchase
Price.
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not
include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.
6
b) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, in one or
more related transactions (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly
or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or
consolidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease,
license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares
for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of
50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property or (v) any "person" or "group"
(as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act), to become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate ordinary
voting power represented by issued and outstanding Common Stock (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of
shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration
(the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event
of a Fundamental Transaction, other than one in which a Successor Entity (as
defined below) that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or
listed for trading on an Eligible Market assumes this Warrant such that the
Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such
Successor Entity, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, at the
Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days
after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction purchase this Warrant
from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black
Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date
of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, as
applicable. As used herein (w) “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate
corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as
of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in
such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash,
if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in
such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and the Termination Date, (x) The Company shall cause
any Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in similar form
and substance and shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to
the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to
this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of
capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the
shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to
such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the
exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into
account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose
of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any
such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the
Company herein.
7
c) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding. Upon each such adjustment of
the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to
the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant
Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 will increase the
Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares.
d) Notice to
Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
8
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
▇▇▇▇▇▇. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 5 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent
that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material,
non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the
Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this
Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective
date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be
expressly set forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
9
b) New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to
the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time
of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this
Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information
requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of
allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase
Agreement.
10
e) Representation by the
Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and
warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and
not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any
part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will
take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the
Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
11
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be,
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise,
will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
12
g) Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of
Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach
by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
k) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of
this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
13
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.
n) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
